FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY WITH WYOMING TROOPS IN WORLD WAR (Continued from Page One.) the state of Wyoming into the fir- ing lines of Europe, was the Third division, and French troops, with French Colonials holding the line on the extreme right from Dormans up to Rheims For a week the 148th had been in position awaiting tho attack of the German hordes, and the time was spent in feverishly preparing for the jearthauake. Paris, forty miles south. | heard and knew that the battle had | started, and that not only was the | safety of this city in the hands of those standing between them and the | invaders, but the safety of the allied | cause, and the safety of civilization | was held in the balance. It became apparent early in the morning of July 15 that the point of German attack was along the Marne towards the Third Division, rather attack, bringing up ammunition, lay-| than on the left flank, although on ing lines of communication, firing| all sides pressure was thrown by the into German te and keeping Germans to screen their important the 1 troops that on @ code word that wor ammer blows of the German through cream the ad begu nly held 1 aris 11:40 o'clock on the night of ne : 14, five years ago tonight, the code word was sent to batteries, and all troops in the allfed lines. By tele- phone and by radio, by runner and by signal lights was the word spread that the German was about to at- tack. Immedia battery after bat tery of the Wyoming troops swung nto action and put into effect the arefully worked out counter prepa ration offensive that was provided to meet this attack. Battery “D" of Wyoming, Battery “E” and Battery F" of the same signed their targets of Ge: erles, of Marne river, roads leading up to the possible crossing points on the Marne, and of troops concentrations of the enemy.

By daylight the German hordes by force of numbers, thousands upon thousands, piling up their dead but ever advancing, had made a foothold on the south bank of the Marne, and the Third Division, thrown in, were fighting bitterly for every foot. During the day of the 16th, and that night and until the morning of the 16th, the Germans ad vanced by sheer force of incompre- hensible numbers, divisions upon diyi- sions thrown into the fight, advanc- ing, only to be halted by the splendid fight of the Americans. The Wyoming batteries, Colorado inembers of their regiment massed along the road of advance were firing sike veterans, handling tN guns as they had never been handied before—hand!ing them a speed that was bewildering. These heavy guns, built by the French and old to the American army were guar- anteed with a factor of safety of a shdt a minute, for ten minut and then be cooled for five minutes, this factor of safety was passed, guns firing steadily, ern ingenuity and western speed could load. lay and fire, load fire and continue to pour the 100-pound high explosive shells into the German lines Alternate gun squads did ther best to cool the gun barrels with burlap sacks, but the big muzzles smoke from the heat, but continued to fire.

As fast as German bat terles were engagec\ in cdmbat, and counter battery fire successfully wag: ed, new targets were ass'gned by reg- {mental headquarters, and they in jturn enguged. The rman was still advancing, and Fis artillery, while ttunned by the flerceness of the American counter fire, still bathed |the American lines with shell, Caus- jalties piled un in, the regiment and| Battery “E” reported the loss of sev- | eral men killed and wounded, and! several gassed. From the front, in-! stead of a line of allied troops mov-| ing up, came a steady stream of am-| bulances ana walking wounded sol-| diers. | ‘The situation had reached a serious: jness that became so ‘acute as the German army corzitinued its advance, that the order was given al! troops to form rear guard action retire, for artillery to prepare td destroy their guns, retire to new positions, where new equipment waa awaiting them, and take up the opposing of the Ger- man advance. It was then that the| American commander made the reply | to the gllied commander that will | smash down in history as a battle | cry of America. His reply, “We ad- mit that the French are our masters, (ommanders) but the American flag does not retreat. I could nct explain} a@ retreat to my troops. We are coun- | ter attacking.” What a glory of words, and what an insp'ration to the battle worn and jaded remnants of Americans standing firm. What gauntlet to throw to an advancing| enemy, and what a tribute to those | fighting’ Americans. They did not re-| treat and they did counter attack. With the ‘artitlery batteries throwing | a heavy wall cf fire along the Marne | river, firing their guns until gun | squads near dropped from fatigue of four days uninterupted battle, those guns manned by the westerners. | shrilling shouting their battle cry of “Powder River” acted their defiance to a nation in the wrong. The infan- try counter attacked a pitiful thing in numbers involved but an immense thing { nits audacity, and {ts results. Cut off from fresh troops from their rear lines, with their communteations cut to pieces, with their artillery smashed, and with their surviving troops worn and tired, the Germans gave ground. By the 18th of July not a German remained south of the bank of the hundreds of thousands that had reached there. A!l had either been for tunate enough to have penetrated the shell fire along the Marne and joined thelr army, or were prisoners of the allies, The pick of the German army, those Prussian divisions hardened by three years of service, equipt with new uniforms, with new guns, and | ready for their triumphal march. into | Paris, smashed by Americans, green | troops from the markets of trade of America, from the ranches and stores of the west, from etvilian life of Wyo: ming!

The Wyo ming batteries, those former infantry- men of the old Third Wyoming, whip- ped into machines of prec’sion, and handling the most intricate artillery devised by man, took up their burden of the big offensive on the 1Sih, and crossed the Marne river. ‘The’ story of the three week: bat- tle that tried men's souls, and ex hausted them, but during which the German army. was driven foot by foot back from the Marne to their old stronghold along the Aisne river, will be covered in the next story of the fighting of Wyoming's first units who so marvelously upheld the tradi- tions of the American flag, and the state from which they rallied to that flag. —_——=—_ “THE MAN FROM HOME” AT THE RIALTO SUNDAY What ambitious Fitzmaurice, is claimed to be the most screen effort of George is his Paramount pic: turization of Booth Tarkington's thrilling novel, “The Man From Home,” which comes to the Rialto theatre tomorrow.
